194 A Small Cu (1/2)
Yang Yun had long noticed Mingyue's presence, even before Xue Yi Ming. But he decided to pretend that he did not see her and concentrated with catching a few more fishes. It would not do him any good to appear too eager and scare her off.
Once he caught two more fishes, Yang Yun went out of the water and walked towards Mingyue. He watched her cleaned the fish with ease and spoke, ”You're here. Where did Xue Yi Ming go to?”
Lin Mingyue paused and looked up when Yang Yun's presence next to her blocked the sunlight. For a few seconds, Mingyue could not get a clear look of his face.
Her heart skipped a beat. The scene felt a bit too familiar to her. Mingyue immediately lowered her gaze and saw two more fish in Yang Yun's hands. Both of the fish had stopped moving.
”He went away to get something to help us carry the fish,” Mingyue said. She then resumed her work to clean the fish. ”Why do you caught too much fish?”
Yang Yun crouched down next to Mingyue. ”I saw that there are other campers. We could share some of them with others.”
Lin Mingyue glanced at Yang Yun and said. ”You're too kind.”
”It won't do us any harm to be kind. It's just food. Besides, everyone on this hill will have to look after each other. If something happened while we're up here, we wouldn't be too embarrassed to ask for their help.”
”Bonding over food. I like the way you think.”
”Don't dirty your hand and clothes. Let me clean the fish.” Yang Yun asked for the knife but was rejected.
”It's alright,” Mingyue tightened her grip on the knife. ”You should find something to help us carry these fish back to the camping site. I don't think that Brother Xue is going to return anytime soon. He has been gone for too long.”
Yang Yun nodded. He knew that Xue Yi Ming wanted to help him with Mingyue. Based on that guess, Yang Yun figured that Xue Yi Ming would not return at all. Yang Yun stood up and paused when he heard Mingyue sucked some air through her teeth. He saw the way Mingyue grip her forefinger tightly.
He grabbed her finger and saw blood oozed out. ”You hurt yourself. Come on.”
”Where are we going.”
”To the water. We need to clean up your injury.”
Lin Mingyue stood up and allowed Yang Yun to drag her towards the river. She watched him shyly as he helped to clean her hands from both hers and fish blood.

”Stay here for a while. I'm going to find something for you.”
Mingyue watched him as he went towards some shrubs and picked some of its leaves. Yang Yun sniffed the leaves and went back to her.
”Although your wound is not deep, it would start to sting in a few hours. This herb is good to stop the pain,” Yang Yun explained. He grabbed Mingyue's hand and pressed the leaf on her finger.
Immediately, Lin Mingyue could feel the cooling sensation on her finger. ”Thank you. But how did you know this?” She looked at the leaves and knew that Yang Yun had picked the right herbs.
